If there is a perennial heaven, there must be plenty of blanket flowers. This is such a beautiful flowering plant that should not be missing in any bed where bright colours and summer flowering are key features.

Kobold is a hybrid variety from the grandiflora group. Yet it produces short stems which help maintain a compact, mounding shape and form a dense plant. Kobold has large, daisy-like flowers with fiery red centers and rich golden yellow tips. Deciduous leaves are light green.

Blanket flower blooms from June until early autumn. Place it in full sun and make sure the soil is free draining – in boggy soil it will most certainly die over winter. Hardy to about -34°C (USDA zone 4).
